Diode–transistor logic (DTL) is a class of digital circuits that is the direct ancestor of transistor–transistor logic. It is called so because the logic gating functions AND and OR are performed by diode logic , while logical inversion (NOT) and amplification (providing signal restoration) is performed by a transistor (in contrast with ...
Diode–transistor logic (DTL) was used in the IBM 608 which was the first all-transistorized computer. Early transistorized computers were implemented using discrete transistors, resistors, diodes and capacitors. The first diode–transistor logic family of integrated circuits was introduced by Signetics in 1962.
Diode logic (or diode-resistor logic) constructs AND and OR logic gates with diodes and resistors. An active device ( vacuum tubes with control grids in early electronic computers , then transistors in diode–transistor logic ) is additionally required to provide logical inversion (NOT) for functional completeness and amplification for voltage ...
Diode–transistor logic improved the fan-out up to about 7, and reduced the power. Some DTL designs used two power supplies with alternating layers of NPN and PNP transistors to increase the fan-out. Transistor–transistor logic (TTL) was a great improvement over these. In early devices, fan-out improved to 10, and later variations reliably ...
Transistor–transistor logic (TTL) is a logic family built from bipolar junction transistors.Its name signifies that transistors perform both the logic function (the first "transistor") and the amplifying function (the second "transistor"), as opposed to earlier resistor–transistor logic (RTL) and diode–transistor logic (DTL).
High-threshold logic (HTL), also known as low-speed logic (LSL) or high-level logic (HLL), is a variant of diode–transistor logic used in environments where noise is very high. FZH251, four two-input HTL AND
RTL is the earliest class of transistorized digital logic circuit; it was succeeded by diode–transistor logic (DTL) and transistor–transistor logic (TTL). RTL circuits were first constructed with discrete components, but in 1961 it became the first digital logic family to be produced as a monolithic integrated circuit.
DTL was the first transistor logic circuit I ever saw and possibly the first used in IBM. In 1958 IBM shipped a one of a kind “Largest Transistorized Computer in the World”. It had 20,000 NPN and PNP transistors most of which were used one transistor per circuit in a DTL configuration.
